Curriculum scientifico

Dario Ambrosini was born in Rome, Italy. He earned his degree in electronic engineering from the Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), defending an experimental thesis about the optical information processing by the Talbot effect and Talbot interferometers (Advisor Prof. Franco Gori). After spending two years in the Optics Laboratory of Prof. Gori (Sapienza University), in 1995 he joined the Department of Energetics (presently DIIIE, Department of Industrial Engineering, Information and Economics) of the University of L'Aquila as an Assistant Professor. Since 1998 he was a Temporary Professor and since October 2006 he is an Associate Professor of Thermal and Fluid Science. Since 2016 he is an associate researcher of ISASI CNR. Since 2015 he is the Head of the "Gino Parolini" Technical Physics Laboratory.

He is one of the founding members of SENSing S.r.l., a spin-off of the University of L'Aquila.

His research interests include flow visualization and heat and mass transfer, buildings physics, optical metrology, non destructive testing, thermography, digital image analysis as well as the history of science and engineering. He is a member of ATI (Associazione Termotecnica Italiana), FTI (Associazione della Fisica tecnica Italiana), UIT (Italian Union of Thermal-Fluid Dynamics), OSA (The Optical Society), Sigma Xi (The Scientific Research Honor Society) and SPIE (The International Society for Optics and Photonics). He was a member of IIC (The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works) between 2004 and 2011.

In 2013 he was designated a Senior Member of both OSA and SPIE. He has been elected a member of the Steering Committee of UIT (Italian Union of Thermal-Fluid Dynamics) for the years 2017 - 2019.

He is a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Optics and Lasers in Engineering (Elsevier) and chaired several congress sessions. In 2015 he was the co-chair of the 33rd UIT Heat Transfer Conference, held in L'Aquila.

He was the recipient (with G. Schirripa Spagnolo) of the 2001 SPIE Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize and one of the recipients of the 2016 OSA Outstanding Reviewer award.

He was the Guest Editor of several Special Issues of international journals:
